I-IAIR-WAVER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 3, 1917.

Application filed April 6, 1916. Serial No. 89,342.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CARLOTTA M. GARRrrY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Boston, in the county of Suflolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hair-Wavers', of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to hair wavers or crimpers and its object is to provide a waver or crimper of light weight and of a durable character and one that will accomplish the best results with the least discomfort and injury to the wearer.

The invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawings in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a waver furnished with a covering of silk;

Figs. 2 and 3 are cross sectional views of a waver composed of two pieces; and

Figs. 4 and 5 are similar views of a waver composed of two pieces with a filling between them.

In Fig. 1 is shown a simple form of waver comprising a strip 1 of lead or other malleable material incased in a flexible covering 2. In Fig. 2 is shown in cross section a waver Without its covering and comprising a flat strip 3 in contact with a strip 4 semicircular in cross section. In Fig. 3 is shown in cross section a waver without its covering and comprising a flat strip 5 in contact with a strip 6 concavo-convex in cross section. In Figs. 4 and 5 are shown similar arrangements of the parts with the filling 7 disposed between the strips.

' It has been found by experiment that the waver is made more durable and better in other respects by making it of two pieces of lead in juxtaposition enabling the parts when bent to slide one upon the other; and it is found advantageous to insert between. these pieces a strip of paper, or other filling.

I do not intend to limit the invention to any particular form of curve applied to the waver and the terms semi-circular and concavo-convex are employed in the claims to cover a wide range of curves.

I claim: 7

1. A hair waver comprising in combination two strips of malleable material, one a flat strip and the other a strip semi-circular in cross section contacting therewith, all being incased in a flexible casing.

2. A hair waver comprising in combination two strips of malleable material, one a flat strip and the other a strip concavo-convex in cross section contacting therewith, all being incased in a flexible casing.

3. A hair waver comprising in combination two strips of malleable material, one a flat strip and the other a strip semi-circular in cross section contacting therewith, all being incased in a flexible casing, with a filling disposed between said described strips.

4. A hair waver comprising in combination two strips of malleable material, one a flat strip and the other a strip concavo-convex in cross section contacting therewith, all being incased in a flexible casing, with a filling disposed between said described strips.

In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature.
